Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 113 Sharpening the Knife to the Pig and Sheep

Li Shimin instantly understood who Cheng Yaojin was talking about.

"Zhijie, how do you ask?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to meet His Highness soon?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. Your Majesty can tell His Highness that there is no salt in Jingyang. Don't you have a lot of work to do?"

"Without salt, how can the people have the strength to work? Many official tasks cannot be completed, and the drought-relief plan planned by His Highness will certainly not be completed."

"........."

Cheng Yaojin's words made Li Shimin wake up.

However, Li Shimin still spoke in a puzzled manner.

"Zhijie, even if Gen'er really understands this method, there are no salt mines near Chang'an City!"

Cheng Yaojin picked up the glass cup and spoke.

"Before Your Highness made the glass cup, I was in the great Tang Dynasty. Has anyone made the glass cup?"

Li Shimin shook his head vigorously.

"Your Majesty, not to mention the glazed cups, no one knows even the raw materials for making the glazed cups!"

"But how did Your Highness know? Last night, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, watching the water turn into ice, and then turn into water again. I just need to sprinkle the powder after washing, and the water continues to condense into ice."

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that Your Highness is definitely not an ordinary person!"

When Li Shimin heard this, his mood immediately improved.

It doesn't matter if you are an ordinary person or not, as long as the root can really make salt.

better than anything!
After Cheng Yaojin left, Li Shimin went straight to the Lizheng Hall.

Empress Changsun shed tears of sadness when she saw the two memorials.

"Erlang, let the people, how will they live in the future?"

"Guanyin maidservant, don't be sad, maybe Zhijie is right, maybe Gener can find a way."

"Can he really do it?"

Empress Changsun's sad face was instantly filled with surprise.

"I hope Gener can understand the method of manufacturing!"

"Zhijie is right. He can make glass cups. He also has the ability to turn water into ice. The skill of making salt may not be difficult for him."

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and said.

"However, there are no salt mines around Chang'an City. Even if Gener knows the art of making salt, without a salt mine, it would be nothing but joy!"

Li Shimin didn't know these truths.

"Guanyin maidservant, maybe there are salt mines around Chang'an City, but we don't know it!"

Now that Li Shimin's words have reached this point, Empress Changsun can't refute anymore.

If so, it must be something to celebrate.

May fifteenth!

The sun is on fire!

Early in the morning, the whole world seems to be in a steamer.

Counting the days, father will arrive in Chang'an City as soon as tomorrow.

Li Gen believed that his father would come as quickly as possible.

Li Gen squatted down, began to sharpen his knife and slapped the pig and sheep.

"Brother, it's already very bright and sharp, why do you need to sharpen the knife?"

The little girl is like a follower, always around Li Gen.

Remarks: Except sleeping at night.

"Lele, our father is coming back to have a little reunion with us for a few days, so naturally my brother should be filial to our father."

"For so many days, our father must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot in Jingyang."

"Brother, prepare some more meat for our father, so that he can't eat it, let's walk around!"

Chang Le giggled when he heard this.

"Brother, in this hot weather, I can't eat or let it go, and it will smell rotten in a day."

Li Gen nodded approvingly and said.

"Hey, Lele is getting smarter and wiser. Remember what my brother said about the overnight food. I can't eat it now."

"However, my brother has a way to keep the meat for a longer period of time, so as to ensure that it will not rot."

Suddenly, the four dogs swished towards the gate of the manor.

"Lele, Brother Chumo must be here. He's just greedy. He knows that our father is coming, so I will definitely prepare something delicious for our father, so I came here early after smelling the smell."

Li Gen's words made Changle laugh happily.

"That's right, brother Chumo can eat so much, Lele hates him so much, but if he doesn't eat meat, he's still quite likable."

Chang Le pursed her mouth, looking extremely cute.

"Lele, brother Chumo can eat, so let him eat. He has helped our family a lot. It is thanks to brother Chumo and Uncle Cheng that our father can go to Jingyang to become an official. Lele, you must know how to be grateful. returning a Favour many times more."

"Lele, my brother has been admitted to the first prize. After the official department's assessment in the autumn, if my brother grows up, he should also embark on an official career. In the future, with the help of Yu Mo and the others, my brother will definitely be on the way to the top."

"Well, Lele understands, Lele will give brother Chumo more meat to eat in the future."

Hearing Lele's words, Li Gen nodded in relief.

Suddenly found something wrong.

It's time for the four dogs to come back after going out!

Something is wrong!
"Lele, you wait at home, brother go out and have a look."

Li Gen put down the kitchen knife and stood up.

"Dad...Dad..."

Li Gen raised his head and suddenly appeared, his father was at the gate of the manor.

Although the four dogs have never seen him, they are very intimate.

"father……"

Li Gen shouted and ran over cheering.

Chang Le also followed behind, trotting all the way.

"Gen'er..."

"Father, my child misses you!"

"Father misses you too..."

The father and son hugged each other tightly, and Changle happily wiped away tears.

Li Yuan jumped up from the reclining chair.

A bucket of ice cubes next to him almost knocked over.

"Father, my boy received Gen'er's happy news, and not long after, he received His Majesty's order. Our family's Gen'er high school champion was granted a ten-day bathing vacation."

"Okay, okay, just come back, now, we are finally reunited as a family."

Li Yuan smiled very happily.

"Father, let's go back to the house and talk."

"it is good!"

Li Shimin held Li Gen's hand tightly with his left hand, and held Changle's hand with his right hand.

Let's go to the room together.

"There is light, there is light, there is darkness, there is darkness, there is gold, there is silver, there is wealth, and there is treasure. Hurry up and kill pigs and sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese!"

"Chunmei, Chunlan, Chunzhu, Chunju, you also go to help, don't stop the water in the cauldron."

Li Gen gave orders for a while.

The manor instantly became lively, the chickens flew, the ducks called, and the dogs jumped around unsteadily...

"Gen'er, you've lost weight, the imperial examination must be very hard, right?"

"Father, don't work hard, I just want to get a good grade in the exam and make Dad happy."

Li Shimin nodded in relief when he heard the words, and suddenly saw several buckets of ice cubes placed in the room, Li Shimin naturally pretended to be curious and surprised and asked.

After listening to Li Gen's explanation, Li Shimin nodded happily and said.

"Gen'er is quite resourceful. Father is really relieved to entrust your grandfather and sister to you."
